00:06Someone once asked me what universe this was, strange question that stuck with me all these
00:12years later. All I could say for sure was it was the only one I knew of, and that was
00:19as true then as it is now. Am I an extraordinary man? Yes. Am I an ordinary man? Yes. I'm
00:29both. I'm neither. But aren't we all? New York. I grew up in this city. I learned to fight
00:42in this city. And I fell in love in this city. A mistake I'll never make again. I used to
00:56be the Spider. This city's hero. Always on guard. Always ready to swoop in and save the day.
01:17That ended when Ruby died.
01:31We were going to be married in the spring. I even bought a ring to make it official.
01:36A ring I never had the chance to give her. Ruby once told me that with great power comes
01:50great responsibility. Well she was the greatest responsibility I ever had. And I failed her.
01:59the spider failed her. After that, I didn't want the power or the responsibility. So I went
02:11back to being just an ordinary man. That was five years ago.
02:37What do you think? I think you got a bingo. Say, you're kinda handsome. No, I'm questioning you are.
02:49Funny too. So you got a wife? No. Shame. I got a husband. Not that it's ever stopped me from
02:56having a good time.
02:57Know what I mean? I got a decent idea. When your husband gets the same idea, tell him to give
03:02me a call.
03:04Okay.
03:08Do me further. Marks!
03:11I got your head. Thank you.
03:14You keep following me. You won't end the way you want it to.
03:17It never does.
03:20Addison!
03:22Addison!
03:40Sorry pal.
03:42Hey! Don't do it Addison. I'm as liable to shoot you as I am to give chase.
03:49Dammit!
04:07Where do they go?
04:08Sir, you shouldn't. You really shouldn't.
04:09Where do they go?
04:10Which way?
04:35What are you doing?
04:40Who are you doing?
04:42I'm doing the same thing.
04:45Come on, let's go.
04:46It's getting late and it smells like shit back here.
04:49I tried to warn you.
04:51What?
04:53Whoa!
05:00Now you're gonna burn.
05:15Oh no!
05:18Oh no!
05:48Okay.
05:51That man was completely on fire.
05:53I've never seen such a thing.
05:55Should have known it was fishy.
05:56They offered me 50 bucks to track down to nobody.
05:58Who hired you?
05:59Guy named Winston?
06:00Yeah.
06:00Bastard only offered me 30.
06:03I need a drink.
06:04You?
06:06Sure.
06:06Nothing too fancy.
06:07All I got is three bucks.
06:09Come on, Conagal.
06:10I know a joint.
06:11Might even have a girl for you.
06:13If you like train wrecks.
06:15Oh, I must.
06:17Because I keep marrying them.
06:24Morning.
06:25It was.
06:26Now it's a mediocre afternoon headed towards a lousy evening.
06:30Coffee?
06:30Got anything a little harder?
06:32That's what I keep asking my husband.
06:34You can just pour it right in.
06:35That's just it.
06:36You really can't.
06:37Any calls?
06:38Well, to receive calls, you've got to pay my bell.
06:40Till then, it's just a paperweight.
06:42How to go with Addison.
06:45Oh, well.
06:46That well, huh?
06:48Addison's dead.
06:49You?
06:50No, some other guy.
06:52This goddamn city.
06:54You open?
06:55No.
06:55Yes.
06:56I tried calling, but it didn't seem to go through.
06:58Mr. Riley believes that business is better connected face-to-face.
07:01Wouldn't you agree, Mr.
07:03Carmody?
07:04Right this way, Mr. Carmody.
07:06It's about my wife.
07:17You a rich man, Mr. Carmody?
07:20No.
07:21Not particularly.
07:23Possessed of a keen white man.
07:26Huh?
07:28Look, I heard my wife on the phone this afternoon.
07:31She's going to meet the so-and-so at 8 o'clock tonight.
07:33I haven't got the address.
07:34Look, look, look.
07:35I do love a client who comes prepared.
07:38So you'll do it.
07:39You'll take the case.
07:40Okay, Carmody.
07:40My rate's $10 a day.
07:42Plus you'll get pictures.
07:43Right?
07:44Because without pictures, it's basically just a he-said-she-said situation.
07:47I'm sure your suspicions aren't founded, Mr. Carmody,
07:49but if it comes to it, don't you fret.
07:51Benson is a photographer.
07:52Never miss a shot.
07:56$10 a day.
07:57Plus expenses.
07:58General, get your info in a small retainer.
08:01Come back day after tomorrow, and I'll give you what you want.
08:06Come on, Mr. Carmody.
08:07Let's get that info in that retainer, huh?
08:13Explosion in Standard Oil.
08:15Read all about it.
08:17Explosion in Standard Oil.
08:19Explosion in Standard Oil.
08:36Sorry I'm late.
08:37Let's tell you some story.
08:38Some other mobster is finally making a move on Silvermane.
08:43Burned down his mansion a couple of nights ago,
08:45killed six of his men,
08:46and somehow the old bastard escaped.
08:48I think Finn Byrne likes men call it Silvermane.
08:50Thinks it speaks to gravitas and longevity.
08:54I would get that rich.
08:55You call me anything you want.
08:56Well, that's a used pickle.
08:59What you hiding over there, another cheap spouse?
09:04Thought you said you weren't going to take those anymore.
09:05I haven't paid Janet in months.
09:06Beggars can't be choosers.
09:07Says the man who has chosen to be a beggar, for Christ's sakes, man.
09:11Probably not today, okay?
09:12Not again.
09:14Have you seen it out there?
09:16The city's a mess.
09:18Ever since the spider disappeared,
09:20Silvermane's got the city by the throat.
09:21Crime is out of control,
09:23and the police are completely in his pocket.
09:25Now the people,
09:26the people could use a hero.
09:32Well,
09:33I hope they find someone.
09:35You used to be.
09:36I know who I used to be.
09:40And I know who I am now.
09:42There's always going to be another Silvermane, Robbie.
09:45No point in fighting it.
09:47I can't help but wonder what Ruby would think
09:49if she heard you talking like that.
10:02Ruby's been dead a long time.
10:06I don't care what you think anymore.
10:14Hey, Frankie, you're out early today.
10:16Hey, Riley, how you doing?
10:20You know, I've been practicing my pocket tricks.
10:23Oh, yeah?
10:24How's that going?
10:26It's on me.
10:31James, huh?
10:32What would you know?
10:32Lots.
10:33Who has me on these years?
10:34Lots like that.
10:35Maybe think about going to school.
10:36Who needs it?
10:37It was people's sake.
10:38Don't do math with letters, kid.
10:41Donegal, Riley.
10:42Listen, I think we should talk about last night.
10:45So what's this proposition you got for me?
10:47You left a man dead last night.
10:49Feels like that could be trouble coming down the tracks
10:51or an opportunity worth pursuing.
10:53Either way,
10:53I think we should know more about who hired us
10:55and why they wanted him so bad.
10:59So you got a plan?
11:02Kind of.
11:03Can you be sober by 9 a.m.?
11:04Come on.
11:05Oh, hi, handsome.
11:05Long time to see you.
11:08By the morning?
11:10Sure.
11:13It's the evening edition.
11:14Silvermane survives in skivvies.
11:17Thank you, sir.
11:18Hot off the presses.
11:20Silvermane survives in skivvies.
11:22Ever since the spider disappeared,
11:24Silvermane has had a chokehold on this city,
11:27murdering anyone that gets in his way.
11:29But one brave soul tried to free us
11:31from the mobster's reign of terror,
11:33setting fire to Silvermane's mansion
11:35while he was asleep upstairs.
11:37But he failed to kill the old bastard.
11:39So brace yourself
11:40for a bloody rampage
11:41for Silvermane and his goons.
11:43If only the spider
11:44were here to save us from the madness.
11:47Damn, Robbie.
11:49Give it a rest, would ya?
11:50Come on.
11:54Come on.
12:26Evening, sir. How can I help you?
12:28I got a delivery for Boris Karloff.
12:30Sorry, but Karloff don't do it.
12:32Sure he does. Might be listed under his stage name.
12:37Stein, Frank, and Stein.
12:43All right, don't bother. I'll see myself out.
13:19I'll see myself out.
13:24I'll see myself out.
13:49I'll see myself out.
13:55I'll see myself out.
13:56I'll see myself out.
13:57I'll see myself out.
13:58I'll see myself out.
13:58Get off of me!
13:59Help me there!
14:06What the hell?
14:08What the hell?
14:31Morning, Winston.
14:31Have a cup of coffee or maybe some tea?
14:34Or do you just want to order both and see which one comes first?
14:36Save your breath, Riley.
14:38You told me you know where Addison is, so take your money and talk.
14:41Actually, the price has gone up.
14:43Excuse me?
14:45The other P.I.
14:46The other P.I. you hired told me you offered him 50, so I'm not telling you for a penny
14:49less
14:49than 200.
14:50Cute.
14:52Give me one good reason I shouldn't plug you.
14:55How about 38 reasons?
14:57It's actually a 32, but I doubt your organs will know the difference.
15:01Now, a guy like you in a suit like that?
15:04You didn't cook this up on your own.
15:06So, why don't you go back to whoever it is that sent you and find me 200 dollars.
15:10And then I'll tell you where Addison is.
15:12I'll keep the 30 as a tip.
15:15Janet will keep the 30 as a tip.
15:17Cute.
15:19A real cute.
15:31A real old boy was under 37 well- Walked, in a fucking episode.
15:36Lookers.
15:38We are kinda 붙ers going up on for a minute.
15:46And then
15:48what to do?
15:50Oh, my God.
16:23Sonny, a guy burns down my house, tries to kill me, makes me feel young again.
16:30Did Riley tell you where Addison is?
16:32I shake that.
16:34He won't tell me where Addison is unless he gets more cash.
16:37Hang on whatever he wants.
16:38The boys are convinced Addison's got some kind of powers.
16:45If he does, I want to talk to him.
16:48Do whatever it takes.
16:50Find Addison.
16:57Hot damn!
16:58Can you believe our luck?
17:00Sadly, yes.
17:01Stepping into a steaming pile of dog shit is kind of my specialty.
17:04Are you daft?
17:05Where's the deepest pockets in New York?
17:07We're the only ones who know Addison's dead.
17:08We could ask for a thousand, though.
17:10Take down Silvermane?
17:11It's an idea.
17:12Thing is, I've got this crazy preference for being alive.
17:14You do what you want.
17:15I'm leaving this one alone.
17:16You're a coward, Riley!
17:18Fortune famous the bold!
17:19Look how poor I am.
17:25I'm in here!
17:29How'd that go?
17:30Good in.
17:32How about this?
17:33Uh, interesting.
17:35Got some great shots.
17:36I can't resist.
17:39I do have one question, though.
17:41Am I crazy, or is that the goddamn mayor of New York?
17:47I believe in you, the hard-working man trying to earn a decent living.
17:51I believe in you, the dedicated woman.
17:55Our city has hit hard in time.
17:57We've lost our heroes.
17:59It feels like no one is coming to help us.
18:01But I believe we can be our own heroes.
18:04You sure she didn't meet up with anybody?
18:06Like I said, your wife was alone the entire night.
18:10What about 8 p.m.?
18:11The Red Cliff, what was that all about?
18:13Come on, Carmody, smile.
18:14This is great news.
18:15I know, I know.
18:16I get it.
18:17Marriage can be a terrifying endeavor.
18:19Open yourself up to another person like that.
18:21Making yourself vulnerable.
18:22I don't even feel good about taking your money.
18:25Really?
18:25Yeah.
18:25Go home, Carmody.
18:26You have a beautiful and loyal wife.
18:29You know how loyal she is.
18:32You're a very lucky man.
18:34Now go home.
18:37We needed that money.
18:38I don't know if you're aware, but there's a depression going on.
18:42I'm aware, but whatever that was, I want nothing to do with it.
18:44Who do you think he was?
18:46Oh, no.
18:46Someone trying to smear the mayor.
18:47And that woman.
18:48She's not Mrs. Carmody.
18:49Then who the hell is she?
18:50The only thing I can say with any certainty is she isn't married to that syphilitic walrus.
19:01Another headache, huh?
19:03That six cents thing?
19:04You should listen to it.
19:06Long as I've known you.
19:07It's never stood you wrong.
19:08I'd love to.
19:08Trouble is I'm not currently sure what it's trying to tell me.
19:11Hang on.
19:13Oh, I can hear it.
19:15It's saying pay your secretary.
19:18Except you can't because you just gave away the only money we've made all month.
19:21You're at the top of my list.
19:22Yeah, you better do something about it soon.
19:24I just interviewed for a sales position at Gimbel's.
19:27Blame my husband.
19:28He has this annoying habit of demanding food on a daily basis.
19:34What about selling the photographs to the woman?
19:36You want to steer clear of the mayor?
19:37That's fine.
19:38But maybe there's still some cash to be had.
19:42Blackmail, huh?
19:44It's not a terrible idea.
19:46It's not a good idea, but it's not a terrible idea.
19:49Yeah, I shook you not.
19:50She had me covered in whipped cream all the way up to here.
19:53It was obvious if anything would get the story.
19:56Jesus, you look like shit.
19:57More than usual is what I say.
19:59I see you too.
20:00What's so important you couldn't wait until I was back downtown?
20:02Any chance you know who this is?
20:06You must be joking.
20:07Oh, that's cat hearty.
20:08Back in the day, you wouldn't have had to ask.
20:13Five minutes.
20:13Four or three.
20:17What are you looking for, anyway?
20:19Some poor sap got knocked off a few nights ago.
20:21Friend gave me a tip something's off with the body.
20:24Might be a story yet.
20:27Say, you might want to look away.
20:29Any idea where I can find this cat hearty lady?
20:32Oh, yeah.
20:34Now, she is the star attraction over at the alcove.
20:39Huh.
20:40That is weird.
20:42Say, does this look like a guy who died in a fire to you?
20:46No, but he sure as hell did.
20:48I was there.
20:50And?
20:51They ID him yet?
20:53Name's Addison.
20:54Shit.
20:56So if they know, the cops will know, and then Soberman will know that Donagall was trying to rip him
20:59off.
21:00Do me a favor.
21:01Hold up if I'm printing that.
21:02I want to warn a friend before he gets himself killed.
21:06What?
21:06It's just a migraine.
21:13What's going on, Ben?
21:15Does this guy have superpowers?
21:20He like you?
21:22I don't know about it, Robbie.
21:24I'm dead.
21:27Did Donagall say when he'll be back?
21:29He didn't say shit.
21:30That's what I told the other fellas, and that's what I'm telling you.
21:32If he comes in, tell him to meet Ben Reilly at the alcove, 9pm.
21:36Tell him it's important.
21:58Old-fashioned.
22:00Old-fashioned.
22:16Ladies and gentlemen, Chuck Hardy.
22:25Stars shining bright above you, night breezes seem to whisper, I love you.
22:41Birds singing in the sycamore trees, dream a little dream of me.
23:00Sweet dreams till sundays find you.
23:01Say nighty-night and kiss me.
23:06Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me.
23:11While I'm alone and blue as can be, dream a little dream of me.
23:20Sweet dreams till sundays find you.
23:25Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
23:30But in your dreams, dream a little dream of me.
23:33But in your dreams, whatever they be, dream a little dream only.
23:40Quarter past 10 and we're laughing.
23:42It's the past us of the day dream.
23:44We'll go dancing under last ten.
23:46And it's past just when we say things.
23:49From the dead of night till the morning dew.
23:50From the black and white to the colorful
23:52If I'm not there, my fail
23:55Dream me in a bone, make it beautiful
23:57The briefings remain in the usual
24:04But this can tell you that it's delusional
24:11Dream of me, dream of me
24:16Tell I'm everything you'll see
24:20Dream, dream of me, dream of me
24:24Till it's reality, don't dream too big
24:29Just dream a little dream of me
24:33A little dream of me
24:36Just about a tiny dream
24:39A little dream of me
25:11Damn it, Uncle
25:12Where the hell are you?
25:14Wake him up
25:20That ain't gonna be so easy
25:23He's dead
25:26Don't get a killer right
25:39Sorry, boss
25:46Even friend
25:47I'm not interested in revenge or retribution
25:50So I'm going to read this quick
25:52Okay?
25:56Down the hell, there's nothing to cry about
26:00I'd just like to hear where Addison is
26:06Do you know?
26:09Do you know?
26:12I shot him dead
26:14He had some kind of crazy power as he burst into flames
26:18What about the name of the man who heard Addison to kill me?
26:26Fair enough
26:32It's all over
26:34It's done
26:50Go to the morgue
26:51Make sure Addison is really dead
26:55Bring me the other play of the dick
26:56Riley
26:57You don't know any more than this guy
26:58He's got nothing to worry about, Bandles
27:11Do you mind?
27:14Please
27:16I loved your performance
27:18Thanks, Don
27:19Is there somewhere we can talk?
27:22Here, so it's me
27:23What's business?
27:24I wasn't aware we had any
27:26Mr
27:26Riley
27:27It concerns your trip to the Red Cliff last night
27:31Lance?
27:32I'm trying to help you
27:34Mr. Riley
27:35I'd like you to meet my friend Flint Marco
27:37He's
27:37A gorilla
27:38Do you mind?
27:40Slowly
27:41The ape speaks
27:42Incredible
27:43I thought you might find that useful
27:46Everything okay, Miss Honey?
27:48Yes
27:48Mr. Riley's a very nice man
27:50But he was just about to leave
27:51Who told you that?
27:52That you were leaving?
27:53I'm nice
27:54Just a hunch
27:55Maybe you can confirm it by leaving without messing up Flint's tie
27:58He really struggles with the double winds
27:59And I just painted my nails
28:00Sharpen him, too
28:03And don't trouble yourself, Flint
28:04I'm happy to make my exit
28:05Without either of your fists
28:06Busting my eye sockets
28:08Um, take another look at that
28:09And perhaps tomorrow we can discuss the price of the negatives over lunch
28:13I might even pay
28:14Seeing as I'm such a nice guy
28:17I suppose you think you're pretty clever
28:19Well, actually, most days I think I should just stick my head in the oven and get it over with
28:22What's stopping you?
28:23Simple
28:24I'm a coward
28:38Spare some change for hungry orphan boy?
28:41Got a tail, white suit
28:42Sure do, mister
28:44Thanks
29:35Listen with me
29:41Some view up here.
29:43You can see the lights all the way from Jersey.
29:46I like those negatives, please.
29:48Cutting right to it, huh?
29:51You don't even want to catch your breath?
29:54Mister, despite what I do for a living,
29:56I really don't enjoy hurting people.
29:58Then don't.
30:00I know a terrific hamburger joint.
30:02Open all night.
30:02Let's sit.
30:03Talk it over.
30:05Well, you're not hungry.
30:06How about a drink?
30:08Last chance.
30:10Opium.
30:15Why discover it?
30:17One way or another,
30:18you're going to give me those negatives.
30:20It doesn't have to be like this.
30:21You're right.
30:22Stop punching me.
30:25The negatives are dropping.
30:30Well, the thing is,
30:32I'm not really scared of heights.
30:33I'm not.
30:34I'm not.
30:50It's not really important.
30:52I'm not.
30:52I'm not.
30:53I'm not.
30:57I'm not.
30:58Oh
31:09Do this
31:28Oh
31:56What
32:04Oh
32:56The End
33:08Don't hurt him
33:11Where am I?
33:13Are you okay?
33:15What happened?
33:18What the hell is this?
33:19Just leave us alone, please
33:25The negatives on the house
33:39I can't believe you gave her the negatives
33:42And for free
33:43Don't you think you're overreacting?
33:45No, Ben
33:46This is what reacting looks like
33:47It's the physical response to a stimulus
33:49You just haven't felt it in half a decade
33:51It was actually my lamp
33:52My aunt gave it to me
33:53You're afraid of a mob?
33:54Sure, don't want to piss off the mayor?
33:56Fine, but a lounge singer?
33:58I told you there were extenuating circumstances
34:00I have given you so much room
34:02Airplanes have less runway
34:03But at a certain point
34:04When someone tells you what they are
34:06You have to listen
34:07Then what is he?
34:11Retired
34:13Cat Hardy
34:15Meet my secretary, Janet Ruiz
34:17Ex-secretary, I just quit
34:19Shame
34:20I came here to offer him a job
34:23My friend Flint
34:25The one you met last night
34:27He's disappeared
34:30$50 retainer up front
34:31And it's $10 a day plus expenses
34:38I'll see you next time
